I find being lied to far worse than being lied on. You gotta care what other ppl think for being lied on to sting-I don't. Believe everything you heard.
But you gotta get close to me to lie TO me. I actually let you in and you betrayed my trust.

I hate being lied to (I'm sure everyone does). But being lied ON!? Oh, that activates a whole nother person in me.

Im not into married men, Im into single, lonely guys who don't know they can do better than me b/c there's no messy wife around offering him strength and encouragement.

So yes, this pic (and the enlargement) was taken today.

Yikes!

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

Dreamed a Black female police officer violated my rights and protections as an American citizen by knocking down my door using a battering ram w/o suspicion of a crime or a warrant. The Sergeant came, by then Im surrounded on my front lawn, loud but clear. Repeated everything that happened +

Watching vids about Korean workers talkin shit about the customers at the nail shop and getting owned. I stopped getting my feet done at the shop when I sensed I was being judged but couldn't be sure. All I need is the inkling.

I hate shoe shopping. That is not my portion. I just wanna find the 1 shoe that's perfect for me and buy 40 pairs of em.

Aside: I remember when I realized that actual rich people don't even want middle-class and poor people shopping around them. . .

when I noticed that the luxury stores on Madison Ave close at 5pm. . . when the people who have jobs GET OFF OF WORK 😂
the whole system is designed to make working people feel like they're getting something that feels like luxury so they don't, like, riot or something.

Important 🧵 for #NOLA area and #Louisiana and for anyone dealing with ICE/CBP in their community.
Some valuable detailed dos and don’ts and what if you aren’t sures
I went to an "ojos" training tonight hosted by New Orleans DSA and Union Migrante and thought I'd pass on new things I learned:

1. Low/old info ICE sighting posts are wreaking havoc on immigrant communities. Basically, incomplete or old info is actively harmful (even if ppl have good intentions)

While it IS crackin' in here today, it's not our usual older Black female customers. It's white ppl of all ages that don't ever shop here.

I feel like to go through w/ the date after you show up and discover you've been catfished is done outta curiosity, b/c WHY would you lie and why is the first action you take a creepy one?
